Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
1. Basis of Presentation, Description of Business, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the consolidated financial statements) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its foreign wholly-owned subsidiary WCG International Ltd. (WCG). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company, our, we and us mean The Providence Service Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, which the Company is required to follow. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), which serves as a single source of authoritative non-SEC accounting and reporting standards to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior periods in order to conform with the current period presentation with no affect on net income or stockholders equity.
Description of Business
The Company is a government outsourcing privatization company. The Company operates in the following two segments: Social Services and Non-Emergency Transportation Services (NET Services). As of September 30, 2011, the Company operated in 42 states, and the District of Columbia, United States, and British Columbia, Canada.
The Social Services operating segment responds to governmental privatization initiatives in adult and juvenile justice, corrections, social services, welfare systems, education and workforce development by providing home-based and community-based counseling services and foster care services to at-risk families and children. These services are purchased primarily by state, county and city levels of government, and are delivered under block purchase, cost based and fee-for-service arrangements. The Company also contracts with not-for-profit organizations to provide management services for a fee.

Table of Contents
The NET Services operating segment provides non-emergency transportation management services to Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries. The entities that pay for non-emergency medical transportation services primarily include state Medicaid programs, health maintenance organizations and commercial insurers. Most of the Companys non-emergency transportation services are delivered under capitated contracts where the Company assumes the responsibility of meeting the transportation needs of beneficiaries residing in a specific geographic region.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial position and results of operations of WCG are measured using WCGs local currency (Canadian Dollar) as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of WCG have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders equity. At present and for the foreseeable future, the Company intends to reinvest any undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary in foreign operations. As a result, the Company is not providing for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on its foreign subsidiarys undistributed earnings. Generally, such earnings become subject to U.S. tax upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability for temporary differences that are essentially permanent in duration on such undistributed earnings.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. Investments in cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) insurance limits.
At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, approximately $3.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of cash was held by WCG and is not freely transferable without unfavorable tax consequences between the Company and WCG.

| approximately $781,000 and $965,000 was held to fund the Companys obligations under arrangements with various governmental agencies through the correctional services business (Correctional Services) at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively; |
| approximately $4.8 million served as collateral for irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure any reinsured claims losses under the Companys general and professional liability and workers compensation reinsurance programs and was classified as noncurrent assets in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011; |
| approximately $4.0 million and $5.1 million was restricted and held in trust for reinsurance claims losses under the Companys general and professional liability reinsurance program at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively; and |
| approximately $6.5 million and $4.2 million was restricted in relation to our auto liability program at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively; and |
| approximately $1.0 million represents funds restricted for payment of workers compensation expenses at September 30, 2011 related to the subsidiary in Pennsylvania the Company acquired effective June 1, 2011. |
At September 30, 2011, approximately $5.1 million, $5.1 million, $3.9 million and $250,000 of the restricted cash was held in custody by the Bank of Tucson, Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Bank and Bank of America, respectively. The cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use and is currently invested in certificates of deposit or short-term marketable securities. Approximately $965,000 was restricted as to withdrawal or use, and was held in various non-interest bearing bank accounts related to Correctional Services and approximately $1.0 million was held at Susquehanna Bank related to restricted cash of the Companys newly acquired subsidiary in Pennsylvania (see Note 6. Acquisitions).

Deferred Financing Costs
The Company capitalizes direct expenses incurred in connection with its borrowings or establishment of credit facilities and amortizes such expenses over the life of the respective borrowing or credit facility. The Company incurred approximately $2.2 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the credit facility it entered into in March 2011 (Senior Credit Facility). The Company also retains certain deferred financing costs of approximately $1.1 million related to its prior amended credit facility (Old Credit Facility), as certain lenders who participated in the Old Credit Facility also participate in the Companys Senior Credit Facility. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $2.3 million in deferred financing costs in connection with its senior subordinated notes issued in November 2007. Deferred financing costs for the senior subordinated notes are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis and deferred financing costs for the Senior Credit Facility and the Old Credit Facility are amortized to interest expense based upon the effective interest method over the life of the credit facilities. Deferred financing costs, net of amortization, totaling approximately $5.1 million and $3.5 million at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, are included in Other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Non-Controlling Interest
In connection with the Companys acquisition of WCG in August 2007, PSC of Canada Exchange Corp. (PSC), a subsidiary established by the Company to facilitate the purchase of all of the equity interest in WCG, issued 287,576 exchangeable shares as part of the purchase price consideration. The exchangeable shares were valued at approximately $7.8 million in accordance with the provisions of the purchase agreement ($7.6 million for accounting purposes). The shares are exchangeable at each shareholders option, for no additional consideration, into shares of the Companys common stock on a one-for-one basis (Exchangeable Shares). Of the 287,576 Exchangeable Shares, 25,882 were exchanged as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011.
The Exchangeable Shares are non-participating such that they are not entitled to any allocation of income or loss of PSC. The Exchangeable Shares represent ownership in PSC and are accounted for as Non-controlling interest included in stockholders equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of approximately $7.0 million at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011.
The Exchangeable Shares and the 25,882 shares of the Companys common stock issued upon the exchange of the same number of Exchangeable Shares noted above are subject to a Settlement and Indemnification Agreement dated November 17, 2009 (Indemnification Agreement) by and between the Company and the sellers of WCG. The Indemnification Agreement secures the Companys claims for indemnification and associated rights and remedies provided by the Share Purchase Agreement (under which the Company acquired all of the equity interest in WCG on August 1, 2007) arising from actions taken by British Columbia to strictly enforce a contractually imposed revenue cap on a per client basis and contractually mandated pass-throughs subsequent to August 1, 2007. The actions taken by British Columbia resulted in an approximate CAD $3.0 million dispute and termination of one of its six provincial contracts with WCG, which the Company is disputing. Under the Indemnification Agreement, the sellers have agreed to transfer their rights to the Exchangeable Shares and 25,882 shares of the Companys common stock issued upon the exchange of the same number of Exchangeable Shares to the Company to indemnify the Company against any losses suffered by the Company as the result of an unfavorable ruling upon the conclusion of arbitration. Alternatively, at their option, the sellers may pay cash in lieu of stock in satisfaction of their obligation under the Indemnification Agreement provided payment is made before or concurrently with the execution of any settlement with British Columbia.
Effective April 14, 2010, an arbitrator issued an award with respect to the dispute between WCG and British Columbia regarding British Columbias actions to strictly enforce a contractually imposed revenue cap on a per client basis and contractually mandated pass-throughs subsequent to August 1, 2007. Under the arbitration award, essentially all amounts disputed shall be paid to WCG (except for approximately CAD $13,000 which will be subject to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement) plus interest. The award affirmed the termination of one of the six provincial contracts that had been terminated effective October 31, 2008. During the second quarter of 2010, British Columbia filed a petition for leave to appeal the arbitration award. On October 11, 2011, the leave to appeal was granted to British Columbia. There is no financial statement impact related to these events included in our financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements
Stock-based compensation expense charged against income for stock options and stock grants for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 was based on the grant-date fair value adjusted for estimated forfeitures based on awards expected to vest in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718-Compensation-Stock Compensation and totaled approximately $946,000 (net of tax of $91,000) and $2.1 million (net of tax of $585,000), respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, the amount of excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options was approximately $62,000 and $3,000. These amounts are reflected as cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $6.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Companys 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2006 Plan). The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.82 years.
Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company has made a number of estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Company based its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Some of the more significant estimates impact revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, accrued transportation costs, accounting for management agreement relationships, loss reserves for reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs, stock-based compensation and income taxes. The Company has reviewed its critical accounting estimates with the Companys board of directors, audit committee and disclosure committee.
New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 amends certain disclosure requirements of Subtopic 820-10 and provides additional disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and for activity in Level 3. This ASU also clarifies certain other existing disclosure requirements including level of desegregation and disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques. The final amendments to the ASC are effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis. That requirement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2010-06 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2010 with respect to the provisions required to be adopted as of January 1, 2010, and adopted the remaining provisions as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28-Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28). The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2010-28 as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29-Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29). The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2010-29 as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 has only impacted disclosures in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05-Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). This ASU amends ASC Topic 220 to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The amendments to the ASC in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will impact the presentation of other comprehensive income as the Company currently presents the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08-IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company believes that ASU 2011-08 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards and exposure drafts, such as exposure drafts related to revenue recognition, leases and fair value measurements, that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated by the Company to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

2. Concentration of Credit Risk
Contracts with governmental agencies and other entities that contract with governmental agencies accounted for approximately 81% of the Companys revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011. The contracts are subject to possible statutory and regulatory changes, rate adjustments, administrative rulings, rate freezes and funding reductions. Reductions in amounts paid under these contracts for the Companys services or changes in methods or regulations governing payments for the Companys services could materially adversely affect its revenue and profitability.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, the Company conducted a portion of its operations in Canada through WCG. At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, approximately $13.8 million, or 15.6%, and $13.6 million, or 13.3%, of the Companys net assets, respectively, were located in Canada. In addition, approximately $17.3 million, or 2.6%, and $17.1 million, or 2.5%, of the Companys consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively, was generated from the Companys Canadian operations. The Company is subject to the risks inherent in conducting business across national boundaries, any one of which could adversely impact its business. In addition to currency fluctuations, these risks include, among other things: (i) economic downturns; (ii) changes in or interpretations of local law, governmental policy or regulation; (iii) restrictions on the transfer of funds into or out of the country; (iv) varying tax systems; (v) delays from doing business with governmental agencies; (vi) nationalization of foreign assets; and (vii) government protectionism. The Company intends to continue to evaluate opportunities to establish additional operations in Canada. One or more of the foregoing factors could impair the Companys current or future Canadian operations and, as a result, harm its overall business.
3. Other Receivables
At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, insurance premiums of approximately $3.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were receivable from third parties related to the reinsurance activities of the Companys two captive subsidiaries. The insurance premiums receivable is classified as Other receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Companys expected losses related to workers compensation and general and professional liability in excess of the Companys liability under its associated reinsurance programs at December 31, 2010 were approximately $2.9 million, of which approximately $698,000 was classified as Other receivables and approximately $2.2 million was classified as Other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Companys expected losses related to workers compensation and general and professional liability in excess of the Companys liability under its associated reinsurance programs at September 30, 2011 were approximately $3.3 million, of which approximately $670,000 was classified as Other receivables and approximately $2.7 million was classified as Other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded a corresponding liability, which offset these expected losses. This liability was classified as Reinsurance liability reserve in current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

6. Acquisitions
On June 1, 2011, the Company acquired all of the equity interest of The ReDCo Group, Inc. (ReDCo). ReDCo is a Pennsylvania corporation that provides home and community based services. The purchase price of $605,000 was funded by the Companys cash flow from operations. Additionally, the Company repaid ReDCos debt of approximately $8.0 million. Historically, the Company provided various management services to ReDCo for a fee under a management services agreement. This acquisition further expands the Companys home and community based services in Pennsylvania.
The initial accounting of the purchase price allocation is not complete as the Company acquired various assets, including real estate, that require appraisal. Additionally, the Company is in the process of valuing acquired intangible assets and income tax related assets and liabilities. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation before December 31, 2011 but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The Company has recognized approximately $88,000 of acquisition related expenses, of which approximately $57,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

On March 11, 2011, the Company replaced the Old Credit Facility with the Senior Credit Facility and paid all amounts due under the Old Credit Facility with cash in the amount of $12.3 million and proceeds from the Senior Credit Facility as discussed in further detail below.
On March 11, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement, representing the Senior Credit Facility, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, Bank of Arizona, Alliance Bank of Arizona and Royal Bank of Canada, as co-documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers and other lenders party thereto (New Credit Agreement).
14
Table of Contents
The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with the Senior Credit Facility in aggregate principal amount of $140.0 million, comprised of a $100.0 million term loan facility and a $40.0 million revolving credit facility. There is an option to increase the amount of the term loan facility and/or the revolving credit facility by an aggregate amount of up to $85.0 million as described below. The Senior Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans and letters of credit in amounts of up to $10.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. On March 11, 2011, the Company borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility and used the proceeds thereof to repay amounts outstanding under the Old Credit Facility. Prospectively, the proceeds of the Senior Credit Facility may be used to (i) fund ongoing working capital requirements; (ii) make capital expenditures; (iii) repay the 6.5% convertible senior subordinate notes (Notes); and (iv) other general corporate purposes.
Under the Senior Credit Facility the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the revolving credit facility and/or the term loan facility from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) by an aggregate amount of up to $85.0 million with either additional commitments from lenders under the New Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions acceptable to the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion, so long as no default or event of default exists at the time of any such increase. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the Senior Credit Facility.
The Senior Credit Facility matures on March 11, 2016; provided, however that, if there are more than $25.0 million of the Companys Notes outstanding on September 30, 2013, the Senior Credit Facility will terminate and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full on November 15, 2013, unless the Company has provided the administrative agent with cash collateral on or before September 30, 2013 in an amount sufficient to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes. In the event that there are more than $25.0 million of the Companys Notes outstanding on September 30, 2013, the maturity date will be automatically reinstated to March 11, 2016 if: (i) we reduce the principal amount of the Notes to an aggregate amount of no more than $25.0 million on a date prior to November 15, 2013, (ii) we have availability under the revolving credit facility plus unrestricted cash in an amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes on such date and (iii) there is no default or event of default under the Senior Credit Facility on such date. The Company may prepay the Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of LIBOR loans. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the Senior Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Company at any time without penalty.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues, at the Companys election, at a per annum rate equal to the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR), plus an applicable margin or the base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.00% in the case of LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.00% in the case of the base rate loans, in each case, based on the Companys consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the New Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable at least once every three months in arrears. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lenders commitment under the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee ranges from 0.35% to 0.50% and 2.25% to 3.00%, respectively, in each case, based on the Companys consolidated leverage ratio.
The term loan facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments, commencing on June 30, 2011, so that the following percentages of the term loan outstanding on the closing date plus the principal amount of any term loans funded pursuant to the increase option are repaid as follows: 10% in each of the first two years, 15% in each of the third and fourth years and the remaining balance in the fifth year. The Senior Credit Facility also requires the Company (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the New Credit Agreement) to prepay the outstanding loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from certain asset dispositions, debt issuances, insurance and casualty awards and other extraordinary receipts.
15
Table of Contents
The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Companys ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. The Company is subject to financial covenants, including consolidated net leverage and consolidated net senior leverage covenants as well as a consolidated fixed charge covenant. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2011.
The Companys obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of its present and future domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain domestic subsidiaries, which include its insurance captives and not-for-profit subsidiaries. The Companys obligations under, and each guarantors obligations under its guaranty of the Senior Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of its respective assets, including a pledge of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the issued and outstanding stock of its first tier foreign subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs, the required lenders may cause the administrative agent to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses under the Senior Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The New Credit Agreement also contains a cross default to any of the Companys indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $7.5 million.
Additionally, the Company incurred financing fees of approximately $2.6 million to refinance the Old Credit Facility and is accounting for such fees, as well as unamortized deferred financing fees related to the Old Credit Facility, under ASC 470-50 Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. As both credit facilities were loan syndications, and a number of lenders participated in both credit facilities, the Company evaluated the accounting for financing fees on a lender by lender basis. Of the total amount of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the Old Credit Facility as of March 11, 2011, approximately $1.1 million will continue to be deferred and amortized to interest expense and approximately $2.5 million was expensed in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and is included in Loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income. Of the $2.6 million of fees incurred related to the Senior Credit Facility, approximately $2.2 million was deferred and will be amortized to interest expense and approximately $389,000 was expensed as interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately $20.0 million of the Notes.
The carrying amount of the long-term obligations approximated its fair value at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011. The fair value of the Companys long-term obligations was estimated based on interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having same or similar remaining maturities and collateral requirements.
8. Business Segments
The Companys operations are organized and reviewed by management along its services lines. The Company operates in two reportable segments as separate divisions and differentiates the segments based on the nature of the services they offer. The following describes each of the Companys segments and its corporate services area.
Social Services. Social Services includes government sponsored social services consisting of home and community based, foster care and not-for-profit management services. Through Social Services the Company provides services to a common customer group, principally individuals and families. All of the operating entities within Social Services follow similar operating procedures and methods in managing their operations and each operating entity works within a similar regulatory environment, primarily under Medicaid regulations. The Company manages the activities of Social Services by actual to budget comparisons within each operating entity rather than by comparison between entities. The Companys budget related to Social Services is prepared on an entity-by-entity basis which represents the aggregation of individual location operating budgets within each Social Services entity and is comprised of:
| Payer specific revenue streams based upon contracted amounts; |
| Payroll and related employee expenses by position corresponding to the contracted revenue streams; and |
| Other operating expenses such as facilities costs, employee training, mileage and communications in support of operations. |
16
Table of Contents
The actual operating contribution margins of the operating entities that comprise Social Services ranged from approximately 1.3% to 12.3% for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company believes that the long term operating contribution margins of the operating entities that comprise Social Services will approximate between 8% and 12% as the respective entities markets mature, the Company cross sells its services within markets, and standardizes its operating model among entities including acquisitions.
In evaluating the financial performance and economic characteristics of Social Services, the Companys chief operating decision maker regularly reviews the following types of financial and non-financial information for each operating entity within Social Services:
| Consolidated financial statements; |
| Separate condensed financial statements for each individual operating entity versus their budget; |
| Monthly non-financial statistical information; |

While the Companys chief operating decision maker evaluates performance in comparison to budget based on the operating results of the individual operating entities within Social Services, the operating entities are aggregated into one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes because the Company believes that the operating entities exhibit similar long term financial performance. In conjunction with the financial performance trends, the Company believes the similar qualitative characteristics of the operating entities it aggregates within Social Services and budgetary constraints of the Companys payers in each market provide a foundation to conclude that the entities that the Company aggregates within Social Services have similar economic characteristics. Thus, the Company believes the economic characteristics of its operating entities within Social Services meet the criteria for aggregation into a single reporting segment under ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting.
NET Services. NET Services is comprised primarily of managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services. The Company operates NET Services as a separate division of the Company with operational management and service offerings distinct from the Companys Social Services operating segment. Financial and operating performance reporting is conducted at a contract level and reviewed weekly at both the operating entity level as well as the corporate level by the Companys chief operating decision maker. Gross margin performance of individual contracts is consolidated under the associated operating entity and direct general and administrative expenses are allocated to the operating entity.
Corporate. Corporate includes corporate accounting and finance, information technology, business development, compliance, internal audit, employee training, legal and various other overhead costs, all of which are directly allocated to the operating segments.
Segment asset disclosures include property and equipment and other intangible assets. The accounting policies of the Companys segments are the same as those of the consolidated Company. The Company evaluates performance based on operating income. Operating income is revenue less operating expenses (including client service expense, cost of non-emergency transportation services, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization) but is not affected by other income/expense or by income taxes. Other income/expense consists principally of interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and interest income. In calculating operating income for each segment, general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to each segment based upon their relative direct expense levels excluding costs for purchased services. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

10. Performance Restricted Stock Units
On March 14, 2011, the Company granted 122,144 performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) to its executive officers that may be settled in cash. The number of PRSUs eligible to be settled in cash will be based on the achievement of return on equity (determined by the quotient resulting from dividing the Companys consolidated net income for 2011 by the average of its beginning of the year and end of the year stockholders equity for 2011) (ROE), and will not be determinable until March 1, 2012 or soon thereafter, but in no event later than March 15, 2012 (Settlement Date) when the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors will certify the ROE level achieved for 2011. The payout percentages for the ROE target levels are as follows:
| 50% of the PRSUs will be awarded if the Company achieves an ROE equal to or greater than 14%; and, |
| 100% of the PRSUs will be awarded if the Company achieves an ROE equal to or greater than 18%. |
If the Companys actual ROE falls between the 14% and 18% levels, the payout amount will be determined by linear interpolation.
If the payout level is achieved, then the amount of the award will be determined by multiplying the number of PRSUs corresponding to the ROE level achieved by the fair market value (at closing market price) of the Companys common stock on the Settlement Date. Payment of the award will be equally divided into three tranches corresponding to the required vesting period where the first tranche will be paid on the Settlement Date and the remaining tranches will be paid to vested participants on or between March 1 and March 15, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Vesting criteria for PRSU awards require employment with the Company throughout 2011 as well as achievement of the performance goal, and employment up through each applicable service vesting date which will be December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 for each of the three respective tranches.
The Company applies a graded vesting expense methodology when accounting for the PRSUs and the fair value of the liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period through the Settlement Date. Compensation expense associated with the PRSUs is based upon the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the measurement date and the number of units expected to be earned after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met and the associated targeted payout level that is forecasted will be achieved, net of estimated forfeitures. Cumulative adjustments are recorded each quarter to reflect changes in the stock price and estimated outcome of the performance-related conditions until the Settlement Date. Compensation expense of approximately $596,000 was recorded by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to the PRSUs.

The effect of issuing 1,678,740 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the Notes was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as they have a dilutive effect, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as it would have been antidilutive. The effect of issuing 1,340,597 and 1,506,412 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the Notes was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as it would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, employee stock options to purchase 1,452 and 1,703 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise price of these options was greater than the average fair value of the common stock for the period and, therefore, the effect of these options would have been antidilutive.
12. Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 48.5% and 40.7%, respectively. The Companys effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 45.2% and 43.1%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, the Companys effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes. Additionally, as a result of the finalization of the Companys estimated income by jurisdiction for 2010, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $440,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to reflect the Companys revised estimated effective state income tax rate. The 2011 rates were also significantly impacted by non-deductible stock option expense that was higher in 2011 as compared to 2010.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, many of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Table of Contents
The Company has two deferred compensation plans for management and highly compensated employees. These deferred compensation plans are unfunded; therefore, benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. The total of participant deferrals, which is reflected in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $655,000 and $779,000 at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
The Company may be obligated to pay an amount up to $650,000 to the sellers under an earn out provision pursuant to a formula specified in an asset purchase agreement dated July 1, 2009 by which the Company acquired certain assets of an entity located in California. The earn out payment as such term is defined in the asset purchase agreement, if earned, will be paid in cash. The earn out period ends on December 31, 2013. If the contingency is resolved in accordance with the related provisions of the asset purchase agreement and the additional consideration becomes distributable, the Company will record the fair value of the consideration issued as an additional cost to acquire the associated assets, which will be charged to earnings.
14. Transactions with Related Parties
Upon the Companys acquisition of Maple Services, LLC in August 2005, Mr. McCusker, the Companys chief executive officer, Mr. Deitch, the Companys chief financial officer, and Mr. Norris, the Companys chief operating officer, became members of the board of directors of the not-for-profit organization (Maple Star Colorado, Inc.) formerly managed by Maple Services, LLC. Maple Star Colorado, Inc. is a non-profit member organization governed by its board of directors and the state laws of Colorado in which it is incorporated. Maple Star Colorado, Inc. is not a federally tax exempt organization and neither the Internal Revenue Service rules governing IRC Section 501(c)(3) exempt organizations, nor any other IRC sections applicable to tax exempt organizations, apply to this organization. The Company provided management services to Maple Star Colorado, Inc. under a management agreement for consideration in the amount of approximately $208,000 and $188,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Amounts due to the Company from Maple Star Colorado, Inc. for management services provided to it by the Company at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011 were approximately $237,000 and $233,000, respectively.
The Company operates a call center in Phoenix, Arizona. The building in which the call center is located is currently leased by the Company from VWP McDowell, LLC (McDowell) under a five year lease that expires in 2014. Under the lease agreement, as amended, the Company may terminate the lease after the first 36 months of the lease term with a six month prior written notice. Certain members of Mr. Schwarzs (the chief executive officer of a subsidiary wholly-owned by the Company) immediate family have partial ownership interest in McDowell. In the aggregate these family members own approximately 13% interest in McDowell directly and indirectly through a trust. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, the Company expensed approximately $312,000 and 305,000, respectively, in lease payments to McDowell. Future minimum lease payments due under the amended lease totaled approximately $1.3 million at September 30, 2011.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 as well as our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. For purposes of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, references to Q3 2011 and Q3 2010 mean the three months ended September 30, 2011 and three months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. In addition, references to YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 mean the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
Overview of our business
We provide government sponsored social services directly and through not-for-profit social services organizations whose operations we manage, and we arrange for and manage non-emergency transportation services. As a result of and in response to the large and growing population of eligible beneficiaries of government sponsored social services and non-emergency transportation services, increasing pressure on governments to control costs and increasing acceptance of privatized social services, we have grown both organically and by consummating strategic acquisitions.
We believe our business model enables us to be nimble in the face of uncertain market conditions. We are focused on legislative trends both at the federal and state levels as the federal government has enacted healthcare reform legislation. We believe that the passage of healthcare reform legislation in the first quarter of 2010 could accelerate the demand for our services.
While we believe we are well positioned to benefit from healthcare reform legislation and to offer our services to a growing population of individuals eligible to receive our services, there can be no assurances that programs under which we provide our services will receive continued or increased funding. Additionally, there can be no assurance of when the legislation will be implemented or when, and if, we will see any positive impact.
We completed our 2011-2012 social services contract renewal cycle with substantially all contracts renewed and with relatively stable rates. With respect to our non-emergency transportation management services segment, or NET Services, we were awarded four of the nine incumbent contracts in Delaware, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia (one of our largest contracts). Three of the nine incumbent contracts in Arkansas, Georgia and Nevada have yet to be finalized. Moreover, we lost two incumbent contracts in Colorado and Connecticut. In addition, we added new contracts in Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin and a southern state we are not permitted to identify. Additionally, our new contract awards, and some of our renewed contracts, have come at lower margins relative to historical amounts.
While we believe we are positioned to potentially benefit from recent trends that favor our in-home provision of social services, we believe our business model allows us to make adjustments to help mitigate in part state budget pressures and system reforms that could challenge our overall profit margins.
As of September 30, 2011, we provided social services directly to approximately 57,100 clients, and had approximately 10.4 million individuals eligible to receive services under our non-emergency transportation services contracts. We provided services to these clients from almost 400 locations in 42 states, the District of Columbia and British Columbia.
Our working capital requirements are primarily funded by cash from operations and borrowings from our credit facility, which provides funding for general corporate purposes and acquisitions. We remain focused on reducing our debt and in March 2011 we replaced our then existing credit facility with a new credit agreement and repurchased approximately $20.0 million in principal amount of the 6.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, or the Notes, during YTD 2011 as discussed in further detail below under the heading entitled Liquidity and capital resourcesObligations and commitments.

Critical accounting estimates
In preparing our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reflected in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are those policies most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting policies pertain to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, accrued transportation costs, accounting for management agreement relationships, loss reserves for certain reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs, stock-based compensation, foreign currency translation and income taxes.
As of September 30, 2011, there has been no change in our accounting policies or the underlying assumptions or methodology used to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered by this report. In addition, no triggering events have come to our attention pursuant to our review of goodwill and long-lived assets that would indicate impairment of these assets as of September 30, 2011.
For further discussion of our critical accounting policies see managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Acquisition
On June 1, 2011, we acquired all the equity interest of The ReDCo Group, Inc., or ReDCo. ReDCo is a Pennsylvania corporation that provides home and community based services. The purchase price of $605,000 was funded by our cash flow from operations. Additionally, we repaid ReDCos debt of approximately $8.0 million in connection with the acquisition. Historically, we have provided various management services to ReDCo for a fee under a management services agreement. This acquisition further expands our home and community based services in Pennsylvania.
We continue to selectively identify and pursue attractive acquisition opportunities. There are no assurances, however, that we will complete acquisitions in the future or that any completed acquisitions will prove profitable for us.
Results of operations
Segment reporting. Our financial operating results are organized and reviewed by our chief operating decision maker along our service lines in two reportable segments (i.e., Social Services and NET Services). We operate these reportable segments as separate divisions and differentiate the segments based on the nature of the services they offer. The following describes each of our segments.
Social Services
Social Services includes government sponsored social services consisting of home and community based, foster care and not-for-profit management services. Our operating entities within Social Services provide services to a common customer group, principally individuals and families. All of our operating entities within Social Services follow similar operating procedures and methods in managing their operations and each operating entity works within a similar regulatory environment, primarily under Medicaid regulations. We manage our operating activities within Social Services by actual to budget comparisons within each operating entity rather than by comparison between entities.
25
Table of Contents
The actual operating contribution margins of the operating entities that comprise Social Services ranged from approximately 1.3% to 12.3% for the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that the long term operating contribution margins of our operating entities that comprise Social Services will approximate between 8% and 12% as the respective entities markets mature, we cross sell our services within markets, and standardize our operating model among entities including acquisitions.
Our chief operating decision maker regularly reviews financial and non-financial information for each individual entity within Social Services. While financial performance in comparison to budget is evaluated on an entity-by-entity basis, our operating entities comprising Social Services are aggregated into one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes because we believe that the operating entities exhibit similar long term financial performance. In addition, our revenues, costs and contribution margins are not significantly affected by allocating more or less resources to individual operating entities within Social Services because the economic characteristics of our business are substantially dependent upon individualized market demographics which affect the amount and type of services in demand as well as our cost structure (primarily payroll and related costs) and contract rates with payers. In conjunction with the financial performance trends, we believe the similar qualitative characteristics of the operating entities we aggregate within Social Services and budgetary constraints of our payers in each market provide a foundation to conclude that the entities that we aggregate within Social Services have similar economic characteristics. Thus, we believe the economic characteristics of our operating entities within Social Services meet the criteria for aggregation into a single reporting segment under Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 280-Segment Reporting.
NET Services
NET Services is primarily comprised of managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services. We operate NET Services as a separate division with operational management and service offerings distinct from our Social Services operating segment. Financial and operating performance reporting is conducted at a contract level and reviewed weekly at both the operating entity level as well as the corporate level by our chief operating decision maker. Gross margin performance of individual contracts is consolidated under the associated operating entity and direct general and administrative expenses are allocated to the operating entity.

Overview of our results of operations for YTD 2011
Our Social Services revenues for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010 were favorably impacted by continued increases in Medicaid enrollment, our preferred provider status we enjoy in many of our markets and relatively stable rates overall. We believe the trend away from the more expensive out of home providers in favor of home and community based delivery systems like ours will continue. In addition, we believe that our effective low cost home and community based service delivery system is becoming more attractive to certain payers that have historically only contracted with not-for-profit social services organizations.
Our NET Services revenue for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010 was favorably impacted by new contracts in Michigan effective January 1, 2011 and Wisconsin effective July 1, 2011, as well as the expansion of current business in our New Jersey and Arkansas markets, and the expansion of our California ambulance commercial and managed care lines of business. We also incurred additional operating and implementation costs related to these market expansions including staffing, training, travel and outreach communication material costs related to our new contracts. Furthermore, while our NET Services revenue was favorably impacted by new contracts and expansion into new and existing markets, we incurred additional NET Services expenses, primarily in New Jersey, due to higher utilization incurred in the additional counties relative to the already established per member per month reimbursement, additional trip volume throughout several other markets, competitive pricing of our new contracts and per member per month reimbursement rate decreases in existing and renewed contracts. This resulted in lower operating income for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010. Effective July 1, 2011, our rates in New Jersey were adjusted to account for a portion of the higher expense incurred to serve the expansion population. This rate increase combined with our ongoing negotiations with our transportation network in New Jersey resulted in a slightly positive operating margin with respect to this contract for Q3 2011. We expect continued revenue growth and we are working to maintain our overall operating margins.

Additionally, on March 11, 2011, we refinanced our credit facility with a new senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $140.0 million. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount of the loans at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 2.25% to 3.00% and is payable at least once every three months based on our consolidated leverage ratio. At our election, interest can accrue at an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%.

Home and community based services. The acquisition of ReDCo in June 2011 added approximately $8.3 million to home and community based services revenue for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010. Additionally, our Q3 2011 revenues were favorably impacted by increased census in certain locations as well as new programs being implemented in various markets. This increase in revenue was partially offset by the impact of the reduction of contract amounts in Arizona and contract terminations in Texas.
Foster care services. Our foster care services revenue declined from Q3 2010 to Q3 2011 primarily as a result of declines in service provided in certain markets due to an emphasis on payer cost containment for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010. We believe the impact of these cost containment measures on our foster care programs will be minimal in future periods.
Management fees. Fees for management services provided to certain not-for-profit organizations under management services agreements remained relatively constant for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010.
Non-emergency transportation services. The increase in NET Services revenue was due to additional membership related to existing contracts, a new contract in Michigan effective January 1, 2011, a new contract in Wisconsin effective July 1, 2011, geographical expansion in certain states including New Jersey and Arkansas and expansion of our commercial ambulance management services with some of the existing entities with which we contract in California. A significant portion of this revenue was generated under capitated contracts where we assumed the responsibility of meeting the transportation needs of beneficiaries residing in a specific geographic region. Due to the fixed revenue stream and variable expense structure of our NET Services operating segment, expenses related to this segment vary with seasonal fluctuations. We expect our operating results will continuously fluctuate on a quarterly basis.

Payroll and related costs. Our payroll and related costs increased from Q3 2010 to Q3 2011 because we added over 600 new employees in connection with the acquisition of ReDCo which resulted in an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $5.7 million for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, payroll and related costs remained constant at 61.8% for Q3 2010 and Q3 2011.
Purchased services. We subcontract with a network of providers for a portion of the workforce development services we provide throughout British Columbia. In addition, we incur a variety of other support service expenses in the normal course of business including foster parent payments, pharmacy payments and out-of-home placements. Purchased services remained relatively consistent from Q3 2010 to Q3 2011. Included in Q3 2011 were decreased costs related to other support services, foster parent payments, consistent with the decrease in foster care service revenue, and out of home placement costs of approximately $816,000, in the aggregate, as compared to Q3 2010. These decreased costs were partially offset by increased costs related to our workforce development services totaling approximately $327,000. Purchased services, as a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, decreased from 10.6% for Q3 2010 to 9.2% for Q3 2011 due to the impact of nominal additional purchased services expense incurred by ReDCo relative to the revenue contributed by this acquired business.
Other operating expenses. The acquisition of ReDCo added approximately $1.4 million to other operating expenses for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010. This increase in expense was offset by a decrease of approximately $1.8 million in expense related to our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary for workers compensation and general and professional liability estimated claims incurred but not yet reported as determined by actuarial analysis. As a result, other operating expenses, as a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, decreased from 15.5% for Q3 2010 to 13.6% for Q3 2011.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation of approximately $110,000 and $195,000 for Q3 2010 and Q3 2011, respectively, represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options and restricted stock awarded to key employees since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or 2006 Plan. In addition, stock-based compensation expense of approximately $22,000 for Q3 2011 was attributable to performance restricted stock units granted to an executive officer during the first quarter of 2011.

Payroll and related costs. The increase in payroll and related costs of our NET Services operating segment for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010 was due to additional staff hired in relation to a new Michigan contract effective January 1, 2011 and additional staff hired in the second quarter of 2011 related to a new statewide Wisconsin contract effective July 1, 2011, as well as the expansion of our existing business in the New Jersey and Arkansas markets, along with additional staffing needed for expansion of the California ambulance commercial and managed care lines of business. Payroll and related costs, as a percentage of NET Services revenue, increased slightly from 9.9% for Q3 2010 to 10.1% for Q3 2011.
Purchased services. Through our NET Services operating segment we subcontract with third party transportation providers to provide non-emergency transportation services to our clients. In the first quarter of 2011, we expanded the regional and county business in the New Jersey and Arkansas markets, added a new contract in Michigan, effective January 1, 2011, and added a statewide contract in Wisconsin, effective July 1, 2011, which resulted in an increase in purchased transportation costs for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010. As a percentage of NET Services revenue, purchased services increased from approximately 74.5% for Q3 2010 to approximately 80.0% for Q3 2011 due to higher utilization in some of our existing contracts, higher transportation cost contribution in some of the newer priced contracts such as Wisconsin as well as decreases in the per member per month reimbursement rate related to existing and or renewed contracts as in the case of Arkansas and Delaware.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses of our NET Services operating segment decreased for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010 due to greater administrative efficiencies from servicing additional contracts. As a result, other operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 4.6% for Q3 2010 to 3.9% for Q3 2011.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $221,000 and $263,000 for Q3 2010 and Q3 2011, respectively, represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options and restricted stock awarded to employees of our NET Services operating segment since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Plan. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $17,000 in Q3 2011 is attributable to performance restricted stock units granted to an executive officer during the first quarter of 2011.

The increase in corporate administrative expenses for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010 was primarily a result of an increase in rent and related charges of approximately $676,000 related to the ReDCo acquisition.

Non-operating (income) expense
Interest expense. Our current and long-term debt obligations have decreased from approximately $185.9 million at September 30, 2010 to $153.0 million at September 30, 2011, which was a significant factor contributing to the decrease in our interest expense for Q3 2011 as compared to Q3 2010. Additionally, in March 2011, our interest rate decreased from LIBOR plus 6.5% to LIBOR plus 2.75% due to the refinancing of our long-term debt.
Interest income. Interest income for Q3 2010 and Q3 2011 was approximately $62,000 and $53,000, respectively, and resulted primarily from interest earned on interest bearing bank and money market accounts.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for Q3 2010 and Q3 2011 was 45.2% and 48.5%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% in each period due primarily to state taxes. Additionally, the 2011 tax rate was impacted by higher non-deductible stock option expenses as compared to 2010. The 2011 rate also was impacted by the lower projected net income for 2011 versus 2010.

Home and community based services. The acquisition of ReDCo in June 2011 added approximately $12.1 million to home and community based services revenue for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010. For YTD 2011, our revenues were favorably impacted by increased census in certain locations, favorable weather experienced in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010 in our markets located on the East coast and expansion of existing contracts and implementation of new programs in various markets. This increase in revenue was partially offset by the impact of state budget constraints in Nevada, decreases in cost reimbursements in Michigan that were attributable to contract start-up costs during the first half of 2010, reduction of contract amounts in Arizona and contract terminations in Texas.
Foster care services. Our foster care services revenue declined from YTD 2010 to YTD 2011 primarily as a result of decreased service provided in certain markets due to an emphasis on payer cost containment. Our efforts in the Tennessee market to increase census have reduced the revenue impact of State system changes whereby clients are being referred into lower levels of foster care services and earlier discharges are occurring with referrals to alternative home and community based services, as appropriate.
Management fees. Fees for management services provided to certain not-for-profit organizations under management services agreements remained relatively constant for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010.

Non-emergency transportation services.

A significant portion of this revenue was generated under capitated contracts where we assumed the responsibility of meeting the transportation needs of beneficiaries residing in a specific geographic region. Due to the fixed revenue stream and variable expense structure of our NET Services operating segment, expenses related to this segment vary with seasonal fluctuations. We expect our operating results will continuously fluctuate on a quarterly basis.

Payroll and related costs. We added over 600 new employees in connection with the acquisition of ReDCo which resulted in an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $7.7 million for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, payroll and related costs increased from 60.0% for YTD 2010 to 60.4% for YTD 2011.
Purchased services. We subcontract with a network of providers for a portion of the workforce development services we provide throughout British Columbia. In addition, we incur a variety of other support service expenses in the normal course of business including foster parent payments, pharmacy payments and out-of-home placements. Purchased services remained relatively consistent from YTD 2010 to YTD 2011. Included in YTD 2011 were decreased costs related to other support services, out of home placements and foster parent payments, consistent with the decrease in foster care service revenue, aggregating approximately $2.1 million. These decreases were offset by increased workforce development expenses of approximately $1.0 million as compared to YTD 2010. Purchased services, as a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, decreased from 10.1% for YTD 2010 to 9.3% for YTD 2011 due to the impact of nominal additional purchased services expense incurred by ReDCo relative to the revenue contributed by this acquired business.
Other operating expenses. Included in YTD 2010 was a reserve for receivables that remained uncollected beyond 365 days at that time resulting in a $1.2 million decrease in bad debt expense from YTD 2010 to YTD 2011, as a similar level of reserve was not required for YTD 2011. Additionally, for YTD 2011, expense related to our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary for workers compensation and general and professional liability estimated claims incurred but not yet reported as determined by actuarial analysis decreased approximately $1.3 million as compared to YTD 2010. Procurement of supporting equipment, primarily for new locations, also decreased approximately $797,000 from YTD 2010. These decreases in expense were partially offset by the acquisition of ReDCo that added approximately $2.0 million to other operating expenses for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010. This resulted in a decline in other operating expenses, as a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, from 14.5% for YTD 2010 to 13.4% for YTD 2011.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation of approximately $153,000 and $464,000 for YTD 2010 and YTD 2011, respectively, represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options and restricted stock awarded to key employees since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Plan. In addition, stock-based compensation expense of approximately $104,000 for YTD 2011 was attributable to performance restricted stock units granted to an executive officer during the first quarter of 2011.

Payroll and related costs. The increase in payroll and related costs of our NET Services operating segment for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010 was due to additional staff hired in relation to a new Michigan contract effective January 1, 2011 and additional staff hired in relation to a new statewide Wisconsin contract effective July 1, 2011, as well as the expansion of our existing business in the New Jersey and Arkansas markets, along with additional staffing needed for expansion of the California ambulance commercial and managed care lines of business. As a percentage of NET Services revenue, payroll and related costs increased slightly from 9.9% for YTD 2010 to 10.0% for YTD 2011.
Purchased services. Through our NET Services operating segment we subcontract with third party transportation providers to provide non-emergency transportation services to our clients. In the first quarter of 2011, we expanded the regional and county business in the New Jersey and Arkansas markets and added new contracts in Michigan and Wisconsin resulting in an increase in purchased transportation costs for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010. As a percentage of NET Services revenue, purchased services increased from approximately 73.5% for YTD 2010 to approximately 78.5% for YTD 2011 due to higher utilization in some of our existing contracts, higher transportation cost contribution in some of the newer priced contracts such as Michigan and Wisconsin as well as decreases in the per member per month reimbursement rate related to existing and renewed contracts as in the case of Arkansas and Delaware.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses of our NET Services operating segment increased for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010 due to costs associated with responding to new business opportunities including on the ground resources for outreach and research efforts as well as startup and implementation costs incurred during YTD 2011 associated with new contracts. As a result, other operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 4.0% for YTD 2010 to 4.1% for YTD 2011.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $423,000 and $784,000 for YTD 2010 and YTD 2011, respectively, represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options and restricted stock awarded to employees of our NET Services operating segment since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Plan. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $84,000 in YTD 2011 is attributable to performance restricted stock units granted to an executive officer during the first quarter of 2011.

The net increase in corporate administrative expenses for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010 was primarily a result of increased stock-based compensation of approximately $1.4 million (including approximately $408,000 related to performance restricted stock units that were granted during the first quarter of 2011), a decrease of approximately $2.1 million in incentive compensation, increased accounting and tax planning fees of approximately $566,000 as well as an increase in rent and related costs of approximately $1.8 million, including approximately $946,000 related to the ReDCo acquisition. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense remained constant at 5.3% for YTD 2010 and YTD 2011.

As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization was approximately 1.4% for YTD 2010 and YTD 2011.
Non-operating (income) expense
Interest expense. Decreased interest expense for YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010 was primarily due to the decrease in our debt obligations and decrease in our interest rate from LIBOR plus 6.5% to LIBOR plus 2.75% due to the refinancing of our long-term debt in March 2011. Our current and long-term debt obligations have decreased to approximately $153.0 million at September 30, 2011 from $185.9 million at September 30, 2010.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt for YTD 2011 of approximately $2.5 million resulted from the write-off of deferred financing fees related to our credit facility that was repaid in full in March 2011. We accounted for the unamortized deferred financing fees related to the previous credit facility under ASC 470-50 Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. As current and previous credit facilities were loan syndications, and a number of lenders participated in both credit facilities, the Company evaluated the accounting for financing fees on a lender by lender basis, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million.
Interest income. Interest income for YTD 2010 and YTD 2011 was approximately $189,000 and $161,000, respectively, and resulted primarily from interest earned on interest bearing bank and money market accounts.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for YTD 2010 and YTD 2011 was 43.1% and 40.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% in each period due primarily to state taxes. Additionally, as a result of the finalization of our estimated income by jurisdiction for 2010, we recognized a tax benefit of approximately $440,000 during YTD 2011 to reflect our revised estimated effective state income tax rate. The 2011 tax rate was also impacted by higher non-deductible stock option expenses as compared to 2010.
Seasonality
Our quarterly operating results and operating cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business. In our Social Services operating segment, lower client demand for our home and community based services during the holiday and summer seasons generally results in lower revenue during those periods; however, our expenses related to the Social Services operating segment do not vary significantly with these changes. As a result, our Social Services operating segment experiences lower operating margins during the holiday and summer seasons. Our NET Services operating segment also experiences fluctuations in demand for our non-emergency transportation services during the summer, winter and holiday seasons. Due to higher demand in the summer months and lower demand in the winter and holiday seasons, coupled with a fixed revenue stream based on a per member per month based structure, our NET Services operating segment normally experiences lower operating margins in the summer season and higher operating margins in the winter and holiday seasons.

Table of Contents
We expect quarterly fluctuations in operating results and operating cash flows to continue as a result of the seasonal demand for our home and community based services and non-emergency transportation services. As we enter new markets, we could be subject to additional seasonal variations along with any competitive response by other social services and transportation providers.
Liquidity and capital resources
Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses and debt service requirements. We expect to meet these requirements through available cash, generation of cash from our operating segments, and from our revolving credit facility.
Sources of cash for YTD 2011 were primarily from operations and our revolving credit facility. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $61.3 million at December 30, 2010 and $48.5 million at September 30, 2011. Approximately $2.9 million of cash was held by WCG International Ltd. (our foreign wholly-owned subsidiary), or WCG, at September 30, 2011 and was not freely transferable without unfavorable tax consequences. We had restricted cash of approximately $16.4 million and $16.3 million at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, related to contractual obligations and activities of our captive insurance subsidiaries and other subsidiaries. At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, our total debt was approximately $182.3 million and $153.0 million, respectively.
Cash flows
Operating activities. Net income of approximately $11.3 million plus non-cash depreciation, amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and other items of approximately $19.2 million was partially offset by the growth of our accounts receivable of approximately $2.4 million and prepaid expenses and other assets of approximately $3.2 million for YTD 2011. The growth of our prepaid expenses and other assets during YTD 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in prepaid insurance, as we renewed our insurance contracts during the second quarter of 2011, and estimated tax payments we made during 2011.
Decreases in other receivables, primarily related to the collection of insurance premiums receivable by Provado Insurance Services, Inc., or Provado, resulted in an increase in cash provided by operations of approximately $1.9 million. Additionally, the decrease in management fee receivable resulted in additional cash provided by operations of approximately $2.0 million. A net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted in cash used in operating activities of approximately $96,000, while decreases in deferred revenue resulted in cash used in operation activities of approximately $2.8 million. Increases in accrued transportation costs, due to higher utilization, resulted in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $5.3 million. Reinsurance liability reserves related to our reinsurance programs increased resulting in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $609,000. As a result of the foregoing, net cash flows from operating activities totaled approximately $31.9 million for YTD 2011.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $12.6 million for YTD 2011. We spent approximately $8.7 million, net, for property and equipment to support the growth of our operations. In association with the acquisition of ReDCo, we paid a purchase price of $605,000, repaid ReDCos debt balance of approximately $8.0 million and assumed cash of approximately $3.3 million, which resulted in a net outflow of cash of approximately $5.3 million. Changes in restricted cash, primarily related to cash restricted in relation to our auto liability program, resulted in cash provided by investing activities of approximately $1.4 million.

Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $32.0 million for YTD 2011. We borrowed $100.0 million on our term loan and $15.0 million on our revolving loan under our new credit facility. Additionally, we repaid $5.0 million of our term loan and $7.0 million of our revolving loan under our new credit facility. We also repaid approximately $112.3 million of long-term debt under our old credit facility during this period and paid financing fees associated with the refinancing of our long-term debt, of which approximately $389,000 were expensed and approximately $2.2 million were deferred and are being amortized over the life of the credit facility, during YTD 2011. We also repurchased approximately $20.0 million in principal amount of the Notes during YTD 2011.
Exchange rate change. The effect of exchange rate changes on our cash flow related to the activities of WCG for YTD 2011 was a decrease to cash of approximately $84,000.
Obligations and commitments
Convertible senior subordinated notes. On November 13, 2007, we issued the Notes under the amended note purchase agreement dated November 9, 2007 to the purchasers named therein in connection with the acquisition of Charter LCI Corporation, including its subsidiaries, in December 2007, or LogistiCare. The proceeds of $70.0 million were used to partially fund the cash portion of the purchase price paid by us to acquire LogistiCare. The Notes are general unsecured obligations subordinated in right of payment to any existing or future senior debt including our credit facility described below.
In connection with our issuance of the Notes, we entered into an Indenture between us, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, or the Indenture.
We pay interest on the Notes in cash semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2014.
The Notes are convertible, under certain circumstances, into common stock at a conversion rate, subject to adjustment as provided for in the Indenture, of 23.982 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. This conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $41.698 per share. On and after the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined below), the Notes will be convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the business day before the stated maturity date of the Notes. In the event of a fundamental change as described in the Indenture, each holder of the notes shall have the right to require us to repurchase the Notes for cash. A fundamental change includes among other things: (i) the acquisition in a transaction or series of transactions of 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of our capital stock; (ii) a merger or consolidation of our company with or into another entity, merger of another entity into our company, or the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of our assets to another entity (other than to one or more of our wholly-owned subsidiaries), other than any such transaction (A) pursuant to which holders of 50% or more of the total voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors immediately prior to such transaction have or are entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, at least 50% or more of the total voting power of the capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after such transaction or (B) which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of our company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of our common stock into solely shares of common stock; (iii) if, during any consecutive two-year period, individuals who at the beginning of that two-year period constituted our board of directors, together with any new directors whose election to our board of directors or whose nomination for election by our stockholders, was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of our board of directors then in office; (iv) if a resolution approving a plan of liquidation or dissolution of our company is approved by our board of directors or our stockholders; and (v) upon the occurrence of a termination of trading as defined in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains customary terms and provisions that provide that upon certain events of default, including, without limitation, the failure to pay amounts due under the Notes when due, the failure to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement under the Indenture, or certain defaults under other agreements or instruments, occurring and continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration immediately due and payable. Upon any such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to us or any significant subsidiary of our company, the principal amount of the Notes together with any accrued interest through the occurrence of such event shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes.

During YTD 2011, we repurchased approximately $20.0 million principal amount of the Notes with cash.
Credit facility. On March 11, 2011, we replaced the then existing credit facility, or Old Credit Facility, with a new credit agreement and paid all amounts due under the Old Credit Facility with cash in the amount of $12.3 million and proceeds from the new credit agreement as discussed in further detail below.
On March 11, 2011, we entered into a new credit agreement, or Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, Bank of Arizona, Alliance Bank of Arizona and Royal Bank of Canada, as co-documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers and other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides us with a senior secured credit facility, or the Senior Credit Facility, in aggregate principal amount of $140.0 million, comprised of a $100.0 million term loan facility and a $40.0 million revolving credit facility. There is an option to increase the amount of the term loan facility and/or the revolving credit facility by an aggregate amount of up to $85.0 million as described below. The Senior Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans and letters of credit in amounts of up to $10.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. On March 11, 2011, we borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility and used the proceeds thereof to refinance the Old Credit Facility. Prospectively, the proceeds of the Senior Credit Facility may be used to (i) fund ongoing working capital requirements; (ii) make capital expenditures; (iii) repay the Notes; and (iv) other general corporate purposes.
Under the Senior Credit Facility we have an option to request an increase in the amount of the revolving credit facility and/or the term loan facility from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) by an aggregate amount of up to $85.0 million with either additional commitments from lenders under the Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions acceptable to the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion, so long as no default or event of default exists at the time of any such increase. We may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the Senior Credit Facility.
The Senior Credit Facility matures on March 11, 2016; provided however that, if there are more than $25.0 million of our Notes outstanding on September 30, 2013, the Senior Credit Facility will terminate and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full on November 15, 2013, unless we have provided the administrative agent with cash collateral on or before September 30, 2013 in an amount sufficient to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes. In the event that there are more than $25.0 million of our Notes outstanding on September 30, 2013, the maturity date will be automatically reinstated to March 11, 2016 if: (i) we reduce the principal amount of the Notes to an aggregate amount of no more than $25.0 million on a date prior to November 15, 2013, (ii) we have availability under the revolving credit facility plus unrestricted cash in an amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes on such date and (iii) there is no default or event of default under the Senior Credit Facility on such date. We may prepay the Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of LIBOR loans. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the Senior Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by us at any time without penalty.

Table of Contents
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues, at our election, at a per annum rate equal to the London Interbank Offering Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or the base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.00% in the case of LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.00% in the case of the base rate loans, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. The interest rate applied to our term loan at September 30, 2011 was 2.98%. Interest on the loans is payable at least once every three months in arrears. In addition, we are obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lenders commitment under the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee ranges from 0.35% to 0.50% and 2.25% to 3.00%, respectively, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio.
The term loan facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments, commencing on June 30, 2011, so that the following percentages of the term loan outstanding on the closing date plus the principal amount of any term loans funded pursuant to the increase option are repaid as follows: 10% in each of the first two years, 15% in each of the third and fourth years and the remaining balance in the fifth year. The Senior Credit Facility also requires us (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement) to prepay the outstanding loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from certain asset dispositions, debt issuances, insurance and casualty awards and other extraordinary receipts.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. We are subject to financial covenants, including consolidated net leverage and consolidated net senior leverage covenants as well as a consolidated fixed charge covenant. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2011.
Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our present and future domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain domestic subsidiaries, which include our insurance captives and not-for-profit subsidiaries. Our obligations under, and each guarantors obligations under its guaranty of the Senior Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets, including a pledge of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the issued and outstanding stock of our first tier foreign subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs, the required lenders may cause the administrative agent to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses under the Senior Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The Credit Agreement also contains a cross default to any of our indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $7.5 million.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility totaled $8.0 million as of September 30, 2011. Additionally, $25 million of the revolving credit facility may be allocated to collateralize certain letters of credit. As of September 30, 2011, there were three letters of credit in the amount of approximately $3.7 million collateralized under the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2011, our available credit under the revolving credit facility was $28.3 million.
Contingent obligations. Under The Providence Service Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended, or Deferred Compensation Plan, eligible employees and independent contractors or a participating employer (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) may defer all or a portion of their base salary, service bonus, performance-based compensation earned in a period of 12 months or more, commissions and, in the case of independent contractors, compensation reportable on Form 1099. The Deferred Compensation Plan is unfunded and benefits are paid from our general assets. As of September 30, 2011, there were seven participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan. We also maintain a 409(A) Deferred Compensation Rabbi Trust Plan for highly compensated employees of our NET Services operating segment. Benefits are paid from our general assets under this plan. As of September 30, 2011, 17 highly compensated employees participated in this plan.

Table of Contents
We may be obligated to pay an amount up to $650,000 to the sellers under an earn out provision pursuant to a formula specified in an asset purchase agreement effective July 1, 2009 by which we acquired certain assets of an entity located in California. The earn out payment as such term is defined in the asset purchase agreement, if earned, will be paid in cash. The earn out period ends on December 31, 2013. If the contingency is resolved in accordance with the related provisions of the asset purchase agreement and the additional consideration becomes distributable, we will record the fair value of the consideration issued as an additional cost to acquire the associated assets, which will be charged to earnings.
Management agreements
We maintain management agreements with a number of not-for-profit social services organizations that require us to provide management and administrative services for each organization. In exchange for these services, we receive a management fee that is either based upon a percentage of the revenues of these organizations or a predetermined fee. The not-for-profit social services organizations managed by us that qualify under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, referred to as a 501(c)(3) entity, each maintain a board of directors, a majority of which are independent. All economic decisions by the board of any 501(c)(3) entity that affect us are made solely by the independent board members. We encourage each managed entity to obtain a third party fairness opinion from an independent appraiser retained by the independent board members of the tax exempt organizations.
Management fees generated under our management agreements represented 1.5% and 1.4% of our revenue for YTD 2010 and YTD 2011, respectively. In accordance with our management agreements with these not-for-profit organizations, we have obligations to manage their business and services.
Management fee receivable at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011 totaled $5.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and management fee revenue was recognized on all of these receivables. In order to enhance liquidity of the entities we manage, we may allow the managed entities to defer payment of their respective management fees. In addition, since government contractors who provide social or similar services to government beneficiaries sometimes experience collection delays due to either lack of proper documentation of claims, government budgetary processes or similar reasons outside the contractors control (either directly or as managers of other contracting entities), we generally do not consider a management fee receivable to be uncollectible due solely to its age until it is 365 days old.
The following is a summary of the aging of our management fee receivable balances as of September 30 and December 31, 2010 and March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2011:

Each month we evaluate the solvency, outlook and ability to pay outstanding management fees of the entities we manage. If the likelihood that we will not be paid is other than remote, we defer the recognition of these management fees until we are certain that payment is probable. We have deemed payment of all of the management fee receivables to be probable based on our collection history with these entities as the long-term manager of their operations.
Our days sales outstanding for our managed entities decreased from 156 days at December 31, 2010 to 104 days at September 30, 2011, which was partly attributable to our purchase of ReDCo who fully paid their management fees prior to our acquisition of the entity in June 2011.

Reinsurance and Self-Funded Insurance Programs
Reinsurance
We reinsure a substantial portion of our general and professional liability and workers compensation costs under reinsurance programs through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, Social Services Providers Captive Insurance Company, or SPCIC. We also provide reinsurance for policies written by a third party insurer for general liability, automobile liability, and automobile physical damage coverage to certain members of the network of subcontracted transportation providers and independent third parties under our NET Services operating segment through Provado. Provado, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogistiCare, is a licensed captive insurance company domiciled in the State of South Carolina. The decision to reinsure our risks and provide a self-funded health insurance program to our employees was made based on current conditions in the insurance marketplace that have led to increasingly higher levels of self-insurance retentions, increasing number of coverage limitations, and fluctuating insurance premium rates.
SPCIC:
SPCIC, which is a licensed captive insurance company domiciled in the State of Arizona, reinsures third-party insurers for general and professional liability exposures for the first dollar of each and every loss up to $1.0 million per loss and $5.0 million in the aggregate. The cumulative reserve for expected losses since inception in 2005 of this reinsurance program at September 30, 2011 was approximately $2.9 million. The excess premium over our expected losses may be used to fund SPCICs operating expenses, fund any deficit arising in workers compensation liability coverage, provide for surplus reserves, and to fund any other risk management activities.
SPCIC reinsures a third-party insurer for workers compensation insurance for the first dollar of each and every loss up to $250,000 per occurrence with a $6.0 million annual policy aggregate limit. The cumulative reserve for expected losses since inception in 2005 of this reinsurance program at September 30, 2011 was approximately $4.5 million.
Based on an independent actuarial report, our expected losses related to workers compensation and general and professional liability in excess of our liability under our associated reinsurance programs at September 30, 2011 was approximately $3.3 million. We recorded a corresponding receivable from third-party insurers and liability at September 30, 2011 for these expected losses, which would be paid by third-party insurers to the extent losses are incurred. We have an umbrella liability insurance policy providing additional coverage in the amount of $25.0 million in the aggregate in excess of the policy limits of the general and professional liability insurance policy and automobile liability insurance policy.
SPCIC had restricted cash of approximately $8.8 million and $9.9 million at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, which was restricted to secure the reinsured claims losses of SPCIC under the general and professional liability and workers compensation reinsurance programs. The full extent of claims may not be fully determined for years. Therefore, the estimates of potential obligations are based on recommendations of an independent actuary using historical data, industry data, and our claims experience. Although we believe that the amounts accrued for losses incurred but not reported under the terms of our reinsurance programs are sufficient, any significant increase in the number of claims or costs associated with these claims made under these programs could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Provado:
Under a reinsurance agreement with a third party insurer, Provado reinsures the third party insurer for the first $250,000 of each loss for each line of coverage, subject to an annual aggregate equal to 107.7% of gross written premium, and certain claims in excess of $250,000 to an additional aggregate limit of $1.1 million. The cumulative reserve for expected losses of this reinsurance program at September 30, 2011 was approximately $4.2 million. Effective February 15, 2011, Provado does not intend to renew its reinsurance agreement and will not assume liabilities for policies commencing after that date. It will continue to administer existing policies for the foreseeable future and resolve remaining and future claims related to these policies.

Table of Contents
The liabilities for expected losses and loss adjustment expenses are based primarily on individual case estimates for losses reported by claimants. An estimate is provided for losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred but not reported on the basis of our claims experience and claims experience of the industry. These estimates are reviewed at least annually by independent consulting actuaries. As experience develops and new information becomes known, the estimates are adjusted.
Providence Liability Insurance Coverages
During the third quarter of 2011, we increased our director and officer liability insurance coverage limits and added insurance coverage for network security and privacy. The table below summarizes our liability insurance programs as of September 30, 2011.

Workers Compensation |
Statutory amounts | Reinsured by SPCIC up to $250,000 per claim with a $6,000,000 aggregated limit |
While we are insured for these types of claims, damages exceeding our insurance limits or outside our insurance coverage, such as a claim for fraud or punitive damages, could adversely affect our cash flow and financial condition.
Health Insurance
We offer our employees an option to participate in a self-funded health insurance program. As of September 30, 2011, health claims were self-funded with a stop-loss umbrella policy with a third party insurer to limit the maximum potential liability for individual claims to $200,000 per person and for a maximum potential claim liability based on member enrollment.
Health insurance claims are paid as they are submitted to the plan administrator. We maintain accruals for claims that have been incurred but not yet reported to the plan administrator and therefore have not been paid. The incurred but not reported reserve is based on an established cap and current payment trends of health insurance claims. The liability for the self-funded health plan of approximately $1.3 million and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, was recorded in Reinsurance liability reserve in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We charge our employees a portion of the costs of our self-funded group health insurance programs. We determine this charge at the beginning of each plan year based upon historical and projected medical utilization data. Any difference between our projections and our actual experience is borne by us. We estimate potential obligations for liabilities under this program to reserve what we believe to be a sufficient amount to cover liabilities based on our past experience. Any significant increase in the number of claims or costs associated with claims made under this program above what we reserve could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Liquidity matters
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash availability under the Credit Agreement provide funds necessary to meet our operating plan for 2011. The expected operating plan for this period provides for full operation of our businesses as well as interest and projected principal payments on our debt.
We may access capital markets to raise equity financing for various business reasons, including required debt payments and acquisitions. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing. In addition, with respect to required debt payments, the Credit Agreement requires us (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement) to prepay the outstanding loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from certain asset dispositions, debt issuances, insurance and casualty awards and other extraordinary receipts.
Our liquidity and financial position will continue to be affected by changes in prevailing interest rates on the portion of debt that bears interest at variable interest rates. We believe we have sufficient resources to fund our normal operations for the foreseeable future.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2010-06-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, or ASU 2010-06. ASU 2010-06 amends certain disclosure requirements of Subtopic 820-10 and provides additional disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and for activity in Level 3. This ASU also clarifies certain other existing disclosure requirements including level of desegregation and disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques. The final amendments to the ASC are effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis. That requirement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2010-06 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. We adopted ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2010 with respect to the provisions required to be adopted as of January 1, 2010, and adopted the remaining provisions as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28-Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, or ASU 2010-28. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted ASU 2010-28 as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29-Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, or ASU 2010-29. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We adopted ASU 2010-29 as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 has only impacted disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05-Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, or ASU 2011-05. This ASU amends ASC Topic 220 to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The amendments to the ASC in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will impact the presentation of other comprehensive income as we currently present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08-IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, or ASU 2011-08. ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. We believe that ASU 2011-08 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
Other accounting standards and exposure drafts, such as exposure drafts related to revenue recognition, leases and fair value measurements, that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, such as any statements about our confidence or strategies or our expectations about revenues, liabilities, results of operations, cash flows, ability to fund operations, profitability, ability to meet financial covenants, contracts or market opportunities, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as may, should, will, could, estimates, predicts, potential, continue, anticipates, believes, plans, expects, future, and intends and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this report. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
Foreign currency translation
We conduct business in Canada through our wholly-owned subsidiary WCG, and as such, our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that the impact of currency fluctuations does not represent a significant risk to us given the size and scope of our current international operations. Therefore, we do not hedge against the possible impact of this risk. A 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate would not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Interest rate and market risk
As of September 30, 2011, we had borrowings under our term loan of approximately $95.0 million and borrowings under our revolving line of credit of approximately $8.0 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrued interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum as of September 30, 2011. An increase of 1% in the LIBOR rate would cause an increase in interest expense of up to $3.5 million over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement, which expires in 2016.
We have convertible senior subordinated notes of approximately $50.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2011 in connection with an acquisition completed in 2007. These notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.5%.
We assess the significance of interest rate market risk on a periodic basis and may implement strategies to manage such risk as we deem appropriate.

Table of Contents
Concentration of credit risk
We provide government sponsored social services to individuals and families pursuant to almost 600 contracts as of September 30, 2011. Contracts we enter into with governmental agencies and with other entities that contract with governmental agencies accounted for approximately 81% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011. The related contracts are subject to possible statutory and regulatory changes, rate adjustments, administrative rulings, rate freezes and funding reductions. Reductions in amounts paid under these contracts for our services or changes in methods or regulations governing payments for our services could materially adversely affect our revenue and profitability. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we conducted a portion of our operations in Canada through WCG. At September 30, 2011, approximately $13.6 million, or 13.3%, of our net assets were located in Canada. We are subject to the risks inherent in conducting business across national boundaries, any one of which could adversely impact our business. In addition to currency fluctuations, these risks include, among other things: (i) economic downturns; (ii) changes in or interpretations of local law, governmental policy or regulation; (iii) restrictions on the transfer of funds into or out of the country; (iv) varying tax systems; (v) delays from doing business with governmental agencies; (vi) nationalization of foreign assets; and (vii) government protectionism. We intend to continue to evaluate opportunities to establish additional operations in Canada. One or more of the foregoing factors could impair our current or future operations and, as a result, harm our overall business.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report (September 30, 2011) (Disclosure Controls). Based upon the Disclosure Controls evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Disclosure Controls were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal controls
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer also conducted an evaluation of the Companys internal control over financial reporting (Internal Control) to determine whether any changes in Internal Control occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect Internal Control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
